Connection
Recommendation:
- For IT earthing systems, it is recommended that the CT secondary is not connected to earth.
- When disconnecting the COUNTIS, the secondary of each current transformer must be short-circuited. This operation can be carried out automatically by a
SOCOMEC PTI, an accessory which is included in this catalogue. Please consult us.
